How to replace or repair an acoustic guitar pickup and preamp (piezo pickup)

How to replace or repair an electro acoustic guitar piezo pickup (a Fishman Isys piezo pickup and preamp)

In this video I remove a Fishman Isys preamp and peizo pickup from an electro acoustic guitar and fit a replacement, a very similar Fishman Isys pickup system. The process would be very similar for any other make of acoustic guitar with an under-saddle piezo pickup and preamp. During the pickup replacement process I explain every step of how I'm doing the replacement and explain other problems and solutions that you might come across with acoustic pickup and preamp systems. This Fishman Isys pickup was factory fitted in a James Neligan electro acoustic guitar which I've owned for several years and was second hand when I bought it, so I have no idea how old it is. The tuner in the preamp I am replacing is broken, which is why I decided to change the whole system. Fishman pickups and preamps supposedly have a lifetime guarantee but they ignored all my emails and James Neligan first responded very positively and said they would do something, but never did.

If your guitar peizo pickup and preamp has quite strings or strings that are too load then you will need to watch this video. I will explain in detail what is causing your pickup to pickup some strings at a different volume to the rest and explain how to repair you acoustic guitar so your piezo pickup, pickups all the strings uniformly.
